justin, my brother has a polaris 400 or 425 4x4, chain driven with a blade and he plows my drivway( not in 4-wheel drive) and it works great.I have a Kawasaki Bayou 300 4x4 full time without a blade,and its shaft driven. and will go any where my brothers 400 will go, mines all wheel drive, where he can shift his to either or.im not sure how much you plane to push,but if you stay on top of it , im sure your 325 will work fine.you cant expect to plow 10 inches of snow unless you take your time and do it in sections. if the snow is not really packed, put it in low and go, just dont let it pile up,keep on top of it and youll be fine.if my 300 will climb a hill a billygoat cant, yours will to. you have to use the machine wisley!youll be using it more for hunting and fishing, than plowing snow, - kinda like me- trust yourself with the purchase and youll be happy.you just neeed to figure out what your going to be using it for, but im sure if the machines in perfect running order, youll be fine.
